Construction aggregate
The construction aggregate article was evaluated and reviewed in this assignment.

This article was well formatted with relevant subheadings. It gave a detailed summary of how the aggregate was mined and recycled. Relevant information pertaining to the usage and output of various forms of aggregate was clearly stated. The only portion that may have needed more information was under the history, as ancient Rome was only discussed.

There was a neutral stance in this article's point of view. More information was written about the recycled portion of aggregate, but this may have been due to the amount of information available.

Under the history portion of the article, as mentioned, only ancient Rome was discussed. There was a direct quote that seemed overindulgent in this area.

All but one of the citations have links, and the ones that do indeed work. The seem to be from ideal sources from science magazines. However, there was a lack of peer-reviewed science articles.

Some facts stated completely lacked any kind of source, especially the history portion. Most of the sources have a rather neutral tone of voice, but most are companies who supply construction aggregate. This fact may have an influence in the information if there were to be any bias. Most of the information seems to be up to date.

Under the Talk page there is a user asking for a better definition for what an aggregate does. They give an example of what should be stated.

This article is not listed as a "good article".

This topic was not discussed in class as of yet.

Peer Review:

I agree that the article is mostly neutral but lacking information. It would be beneficial to look into finding more peer reviewed articles and adding them and their information into the article. For the facts that lack sources you should look into validating that information. I agree that this history section is limited and would suggest looking into how aggregate is used around the world and how other countries have used this is development. The quote that is in the article seems to not add anything to the article. Going into more depth on what aggregate is and how it is used will help this article and I think your additions you mentioned above will be good.
